Nitecore MT1C overview

1Description

The MT1C Multi-Task LED Flashlight from Nitecore is a powerful and durable illumination tool that easily fits in the palm of your hand or your pocket. It features three normal outputs from 22 to 138 lumens, with a 345-lumen turbo mode. An intelligent two-stage pushbutton switch allows you to program your desired output, including a disorientating strobe or SOS emergency signal. To activate the turbo mode, just tighten the head. This gives you access to your preferred operating output, while allowing you to quickly change to turbo mode.

An example of this functionality in real-life situations would be: When used as at home, the head can be loosened and low level selected in custom mode, providing long runtimes at a lower light intensity. The same flashlight could then be taken out and used a law-enforcement duty light, with user-defined mode set in strobe, making it easy to alternate between turbo mode and strobe with a simple twist of the flashlight head.

Built to withstand the rigors of daily use, the aluminum housing has a scratch and corrosion-resistant hard-anodized finish, is submersible to 6.6', and impact-resistant to 5'. A diamond-textured handle provides a sure-grip in cold or wet conditions, while the faceted anti-roll collar offers an easy hand-hold for activating the turbo mode. This light runs on a single user-supplied CR123A lithium battery.

Good light, sturdy and bright. Pocket clip is flimsy, thoughThis flashlight is sturdy, fits well in a pants pocket or in a backpack pocket. Plenty bright. I've accidentally dropped it twice. Still lights strong. The guard around the tailcap is adequate. I like the partial fence rather than the complete closed circle. The pocket clip is thin and flimsy. I use several other brands of lights and this is by far the least secure of the lot. It easily comes off the flashlight and does not hold particularly well when clipped inside a pants pocket.

Too hot to handle!It only has two settings: continuous high, and flash. In just 1 minute of continuous beam the flashlight is too hot to hold with your bare hands. At 2 minutes it's got to be over 120F. Picture below shows it with a milk frothing thermometer resting on top of the barrel. The ambient room temperature is 64F. This flashlight fails at its primary purpose.
